Brilliant Anita. I loved listening to your voice and get a glimpse of Linda C Smith your doctoral advisor. Reflective light is so aptly said of this polymath lady !!!
It was an honor to have you join us. Thank *you*! A great question and yes, I have a preliminary LIS list of 32 from when I did the original research this summer. It didn’t have your three nor Linda’s. I’ll add it as a lis f bibliography at the end of the essay and let you know when done. Originally in the summer when we began the symposium I’d suggested we make at least ~7 little video clips of to 2 mins long: 1) what’s a festschrift, 2) elements of a printed festschrift, 3) festschriften in terms of popularity, geography, discipline, and publishers, 4) motivations for publishing a festschrift, 6) role of festschrifts in Schol Comm, and 7) how to locate festschriften in library catalogs. I think I made video #1 but that’s it!
So much work goes into these and they are poorly indexed or even reviewed.
Linda's WILL get picked up as it will be in an indexed serial. I don't think I have ever seen a citation to the essays in the festschriften for Dr. Asheim, Dr. Margaret Monroe, or Dr. Ed Holley. Dr. Monroe's was the subject of an article in RQ by Gail Schlachter: Schlachter, G. A. (2005, Spring). Margaret E. Monroe: Beyond the Service Imperative. Reference & User Services Quarterly, 44(3), 184–209.
TY for Schlachter ref. Yep - I've notes on uncited lit too waiting in the wings. One thing at a time. My first step is to see how much further I can develop infophilia as a positive psychology of info - I started this discussion in the Polymaths, Polystores, Possiplex essay. Today, I realized I didn't mention Bibliotherapy explicitly in that. Festschriften (their study and analysis) of course to my way of thinking are a natural part of infophilia (like polymaths).

Aww, 🥰. Thank you, Arlene!
The tribute in honor Linda was wonderful. I was so glad to attend. Thank you for that program.
I wonder if there is a list of LIS Festschriften?
I have contributed to two:.
*Asheim, Lester Eugene, Joel M. Lee, and Beth A. Hamilton. 1979. 𝑨𝒔 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏 𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉: 𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝑳𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑨𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒎. Hamden, Conn: Linnet Books.
*Professor Margaret E. Monroe (UW-Madison). 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑳𝒊𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔: 𝑬𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑯𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒕 𝑬. 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒓𝒐𝒆, ed. Gail A. Schlacter (Littleton, Colo.: Libraries Unlimited, 1982), 189.
*Another on my shelf: Holley, Edward G., and Delmus Eugene Williams. 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓: 𝑬𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑯𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝑬𝒅𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝑮. 𝑯𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒚. Greenwich, Conn.: Jai Press, 1994.
